• Medina of Essaouira - The Medina of Essaouira (الصويرة, aṣ-Ṣawirah, Al-Suwayra in Arabic, meaning “the Well-Designed”), formerly known as Mogador from the Phoenician Migdol meaning “small fortress,” and Tassourt or Amogdul (“the well-guarded”) in Berber, is also referred to as Mogdura in Portuguese, Mogadur in Spanish, and Mogador in French. It is affectionately called “the Moroccan Saint-Malo” or the “city of the winds.” This Moroccan medina, the historic heart of Essaouira, is located on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Renowned as one of the most picturesque port cities in Morocco, the medina is a major tourist attraction, recognized as a historical monument of Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.

Experience something truly special by exploring Mogador, where the charming alleys transport visitors back in time. The delightful scents of fish, thuja wood, and argan oil make a trip to Essaouira an unforgettable adventure. Although the Essaouira region has seen intermittent habitation since ancient times by the Phoenicians, the Gaetuli during the era of Juba II, and later the Romans, it wasn’t until the 16th century that the Portuguese established a significant presence. They constructed the Castelo Real fortress and ramparts in 1506, which were soon abandoned due to strong local resistance.
